2023 GWM Tank 300 petrol price confirmed for Australia – UPDATE

-

A petrol-only, non-hybrid version of the new GWM Tank 300 four-wheel-drive from China has joined the range,

A petrol version of the new 2023 GWM Tank 300 hybrid off-roader has been added to the range, priced from $46,990 drive-away.

The Tank 300 – a Jeep Wrangler-styled four-wheel-drive from Chinese marque Great Wall Motors (GWM) – was until now available in a choice of two grades, sharing a 225kW 2.0-litre turbo petrol-electric hybrid system.

GWM has now introduced a petrol-only version, powered by a 162kW and 380Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine.

It costs $9000 to $10,000 less than the hybrid version, at $46,990 drive-away for the Lux petrol, and $50,990 drive-away for the Ultra petrol – compared to $55,990 and $60,990 drive-away for equivalent hybrid versions.

Standard equipment levels are unchanged from the hybrid. A list is at the bottom of this story.

The petrol versions use an eight-speed automatic transmission – compared to the hybrid’s nine-speed auto – but share the hybrid’s part-time four-wheel-drive system.

The petrol Tank 300 quotes the same 2500kg towing capacity and 224mm ground clearance as the hybrid.

However, the petrol carries a 225kg-lower tare weight (2106kg vs 2331kg), and 173kg-lower gross vehicle mass (2552kg vs 2725kg) than the hybrid – which affords it a 52kg-higher payload (446kg vs 394kg).

The 2023 GWM Tank 300 petrol is now available to order.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

-

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j

Melbourne council asks the public to name new roads. What could go wrong?

-
Image
Have you ever dreamed of living in Streety McStreetface Street, Warnieville? Here’s your chance. Melbourne City Council has announced plans to allow the public to suggest names for new roads and locations in the city. Names proposed for roads must meet the 1998 Geographic Place Names Act to ensure they are not duplicated or offensive, and support the local community interests – and they can can be submitted by community members, landholders and developers. The draft policy will defer naming proposals back to the community, with a preference for “Aboriginal language names and the names of women who have contributed to Melbourne’s historical development.” According to the Council, this is intended to “correct the imbalance” of naming representation in Melbourne – which in the past 20 years has seen 50 new roads named after men, 23 named after women, and six the use local Aboriginal language. The scheme will cover new roads, laneways, localities, and public places. This

Heavy SUVs and electric cars pose “safety concern”, says European crash tester

-
Image
Euro NCAP – the European counterpart of local crash-test body ANCAP – has expressed concern about the growing weight of vehicles, including SUVs and electric cars. Customer preference for SUVs and increasingly-heavy electric cars poses a threat to other road users, according to crash-test body ANCAP’s European sister organisation Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program). Following its final crash tests of 2023, the Secretary General of Euro NCAP, Dr Michael van Ratingen, said in a media statement that customer preference was leading car makers to build larger, heavier vehicles which pose a greater danger on public roads. “Of the 11 new cars rated [in the latest round of testing], only three weigh less than two tonnes,” Mr van Ratingen said. “This is a trend that helps neither safety nor the environment: big, heavy cars are generally less energy efficient than small, light ones, and there is a safety concern when those two types of vehicles collide or, worse, when vuln

After 28 races the 2023 Supercars season is over. Here are a handful of our favourite things from the year and what to look forward to in 2024. With last weekend’s Adelaide 500 run and won, another season of the Supercars Championship – formerly known as V8 Supercars – is over.

From one of the sport’s stars calling time to Ford threatening to take its bat and ball back to Detroit amid year-long disputes, these are the five most important take-aways from the 2023 Supercars season. 1.

Honda boss has again confirmed the car maker is working on an electric sports car which may see the hallowed NSX badge return to showrooms. A successor to the Honda NSX supercar is coming, after Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe once again confirmed the car maker is working on a new halo electric sports car. Mibe told UK publication Autocar that work was ‘progressing’ with a ‘good analysis’ on an electric sports car being carried out by the Japanese brand’s research and development department. “We have not decided on mass production or timing but, personally, I would like to make it happen.” Honda – which began in September 1948 – has hinted that it would have a halo sports car in showrooms to celebrate its 75th anniversary year.
